great job on that beautiful fighter!

Hello Tomasz What an amazing build. Thanks for sharing the files🤜🤛

Hi, After the dirt was added with oils, I made scratches using a toothpick and a small and pointy Q-Tip.

Thanks! Nico, glad you noticed those weathering effects I tried to replicate.

Hello The new Revell 1/24 N1 Starfighter from the Star Wars The Mandalorian TV Show. The kit is quite fun and simple to build. Details are OK but there is some room for improvement. I scratch built some details in the open panels and engines. Paints are Mr Hobby SM01 super fine silver and Chrome from Greenstuff. Weathering with oils and waterpencil. This is the way!

Great Work! and thanks for the explanations!

Thanks! I used this decal sheet from adeco https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=http://www.kitreview.com/reviews/frenchcorsairdecalreviewbg_5.htm&ved=2ahUKEwi_5qPTuriDAxVscaQEHRl7COoQFnoECCsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3d_9PmEUv7eiUDGJXp1-CQ But maybe you can look in the Berna range?

I used this tool to scribe the circular rivets: https://www.cookson-clal.com/materiel-bijouterie/Jeu-de-12-perloirs-de-1-à-12,--avec-manche-universel-prcode-999-AIR1?p=gs&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAnL-sBhBnEiwAJRGigvRxTqBNA7xna7HQuws84fB7KKGCFD8NSrs2vdwTsxMW3L3sLcBA9hoC_SoQAvD_BwE Called "perloir" in french

Thank you! And yes, the chipping is done by scratching the blue paint with a blade or sharp toothpick. It gives the most realistic chip to my opinion.

Thanks! Yes that mold seam needs some work. Sanding, puttying, sanding, scribing.🙂

Thank you! The kit is 50cm in lenght.

Hello! So! finally finished! After an almost 3 years stand by. I used some aftermarket: - Eduard photoetch - Master barrels - Legend bays and folding sets - Werner wings stencil decals - Reedoak figure paints are Mr color laquer c308 and mrp 105. Weathering with oils, mostly mig oilbrushers. Again I felt very frustrated with the figurine painting. I tried again the uncle Nightshift hack with black primer, zenithal white and filters. But... Again I did not succeed. The base color are acrylics from vallejo but I tried to paint the highlight and shadows with oils. And I think I liked to do that way. The build will be detailed in a 2024 edition of french magazine Cocardes. Now some pics! Romain

Hello A small and quick build from the box with the 3D Blitz Model kit, using FFSMC decal sheet for french air force. Most of the job was to deal with ultra smooth paint and decals. I used the great Mr Hobbyè GX112 gloss varnish, then polished with ultra fin abrasives sponges, micromesh and Tamiya compound. A very light coat of GX114 satin coat at the end, to cut the "toy like" effect. Cheers Romain

Very nice painting on these exhausts

Thank you so much 😉
